Ultimate Doll Costuming: The Trousseau-page 7

A Replicated Trousseau
for a 19th Century Reproduction Doll

Everyday Underlinens
The simple everyday underlinens (which can also be worn with the petticoat and stays) are as expected--for everyday wear. The chemise has a back placket with hook and eye closure. The neck and armholes are edged with lace. The split drawers have a drawstring closure and are ornamented with a frill of Swiss embroidery at the bottom. These basic 1885 underlinens were generally made from lightweight cotton or linen fabric and were worn by multitudes of dolls. This set is made from new lightweight cotton, trimmed with vintage laces. Appropriate new laces would work as well.
